I was delighted to attend the grand opening of the Allessandro Apartments in Silver Lake. Hollywood Community Housing Corporation has developed 18 units of affordable, special-needs housing. Designed by M2A Architects, the building is an exceptional addition to a beautiful neighborhood. HCHC and M2A continue to demonstrate the kind of excellence we can achieve at the same time as we seek solutions to the housing crisis. Kyle Arndt, a Los Angeles real estate lawyer who serves as the president of the HCHC Board of Directors, spoke at the opening and reminded me how vital a talented volunteer board can be to the success of a community organization.
